UNICEF strongly condemns yesterday’s horrific attack in Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which claimed the lives of five children, the youngest a one-year-old boy, and injured several women and children.
UNICEF expresses its heartfelt condolences to the grieving families and all those affected by this devastating attack during the holy month of Ramadan.
How many more children need to die for sense to prevail? Children should be treasured and protected, instead they are trapped in cycles of violence.
UNICEF calls for an end to this violence and for the fundamental rights of all children to be protected and upheld at all times.
